Dotcom demands spying probe

Kim Dotcom has backed calls for an independent inquiry into government spies who illegally accessed his communications.

Prime Minister John Key has already ordered an inquiry into the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) after the unit’s staff were alleged to have unlawfully acquired communications relating to the Megaupload case.

Key admitted the GCSB “acted unlawfully while assisting the police to local certain individuals subject to arrest warrants,” and apologised to Dotcom for the controversy.
